However, the training and development of staff still has some limitations: The planning and coordination of training and development between advisory agencies, management agencies and training facilities are not tight. Although the training and development content and programs have been renewed, they are still overlapping and new knowledge is not updated in a timely manner.

Teaching methods have not yet promoted the activeness of students, lacked appeal and attraction for students to study, and training in leadership and management skills is still weak; Forecasting training and development needs is not close to reality. Some agencies and units have not cooperated in training and development in accordance with regulations; program content and teaching and learning quality are not guaranteed and have not been strictly controlled and managed.

The above situation has many causes, but mainly because some party committees, authorities, cadres and party members have not fully recognized the role and importance of training, fostering and building a contingent of cadres in the current situation, so they have not really paid due attention to training and fostering political ideology.

Attention to building a team of lecturers, investing in facilities, funding, and policies for training and fostering activities are still limited; inspection and supervision are not regular; decentralization of training and fostering according to subjects and job title standards is still inadequate. Many cadres have not determined the right motivation for studying, have not fulfilled their study obligations seriously; and are even lazy to study political theory.
